FINAL-DAY PUSH

Wish Kid Garrett Gardner (left) declares Thursday’s Make-A-Wish pledge total to be $23,000.57. If that’s impressive, just wait until today, WPXZ-FM 104.1 News Director Josh Widdowson (right) said. With extended coverage until 7 p.m. tonight, and the auction wrapping up, the final day of the Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia chapter’s “Light Up a Child’s Life” campaign will commence with great expectations, setting out just shy of seven wishes. Gardner also shared his swimming pool wish experience on the air. (Photo by Holly Shok/The Punxsutawney Spirit)
